It will be Arsenal F.C. vs Monaco F.C. in the Champions League on Wednesday night and here we take a look at some key stats before the big game.
Arsenal F.C. vs Monaco F.C. Stats Ahead Of Wednesday’s 8pm Clash
Arsenal will look to bounce back from their disappointing draw with Fulham at the weekend when they play Monaco in the Champions League.
The Gunners have made a solid yet unspectacular start to their Champions League campaign with three wins, a draw at home against Atalanta and a defeat at Inter Milan.
They were on fire in their last European outing with a 5-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon – who previously beat Manchester City 4-1.
Arsenal currently sit inside the top-eight on goal difference which would allow them to bypass the play-offs into the last-16.
However, they face a Monaco side who sit one place below them and showed they can be dangerous by beating Barcelona in the opening week.

Though prices can change, they are currently at odds of 3/10 to beat the Ligue 1 side on Wednesday night.
